+ Ploi's brother showed me the apartment. Lots of bottles of water in the fridge - a nice welcome. Lovely, fresh and very clean apartment. Perfect size for a couple or solo traveller. Lots of clean towels/bedlinen etc. Nice-looking building complex. Gorgeous pool. Two great tasty/cheap mini-restaurants downstairs plus a convenience store. Downtown (Sukhumvit) 100 bht in a taxi (right turn on the main road). Decent-sized mall and FoodLand supermarket 40bht/15 minute walk (left turn). The flat is good value for money. Though taxis sometimes refuse to return from downtown 4-7pm due to the traffic.
- The gym is way too hot to run as staff won't switch on the aircon till after 6pm. 3/5 treadmills in the photo are broken. Poolside is under repair (traffic cones and red tape) and 4/5 sunbeds broken. No sign of any building maintenance to fix any of these problems during the 5 weeks I was there.
Ploi is abroad a lot of the time but still very communicative, and responds quickly. She is always nice and friendly. There was one quite serious issue while I was there, which she tried to get fixed. But I'm not sure it's fixed permanently, as I think the problem comes from the building and affects her apartment. I think Ploi needs to be there in person more to deal with the building management.
